emeraldembersI don't know how many of you have seen Pirates of the Caribbean 4, but I woke up this morning utterly convinced I was in charge of the Spanish. It took me a few good minutes to convince myself that I had to get up and go to work.
More importantly, and the reason why I am making this post; oh my god, yesterday at work was brilliant.
First I had a call from our complaints team, who seemed unusually giggly all things considered, and was told, "Now, try not to laugh at this one, but..."
A Sky customer had called in to complain because a Virgin customer on their road had made their their wireless network name - broadcast to all and sundry who can pick up wireless networks in the area by default - something a tad, er, inappropriate. "I love big black cocks". Yeaaaaaah, I laughed.
Second, I had a call from a customer whose wireless adapter was knackered, so I figured it was worth grabbing hold of the computer manufacturer for her to see if it was cheaper getting them to fix it or taking it to the shops to get fixed. She wasn't sure of the make, so I asked her to take a look at the tower and look for any label that could tell her the make or give her a clue - "Like Dell, HP, E-Machines..."
She went quiet for a bit, then replied, "DVD!".
OH. And. Almost forgot. My birthday is coming up on June 16th, and to be perfectly honest, I'm turning 26 which is a terribly boring number with very few factors and thus I have no real plans for it. What I would love though, to bits and pieces, is very shallow and very silly, and it's the simplest thing in the world.
I would love letters from any of you who have the time to write them and means to send them. I love snail mail so much, I treasure every letter I've ever received from a friend (flisties included), and it would alleviate the guilt of asking for presents when it isn't Christmas. If any of you are up for it and don't have my Aintree address, just let me know <3!
Although I would not object to any Thor merchandise because I have a problem. *cough*

Date: 2011-05-27 04:31 pm (UTC)Aww, we all have our weaknesses for things we maybe shouldn't entirely ;). I have a weakness for men who are just slightly doll-like, like Gale from Digital Devil Saga, Data from Star Trek, Sonny from I, Robot - it's a weakness for men who are entirely their own person but kind of inhuman at the same time.
*snuggles you forever you adorable thing ffffff*
